Foundry: Brand-New Zulus

People who complain about prices like this have never looked at what it costs to run a busines.

Get over yourself…

Yes, there are cheapskates, but they're in every field, and looking for bargains doesn't necessarily make one such, unless the norm for you is to expect everyone to spend like sailors on shore leave and ignoring markups. Under Foundry's unrealistic exchange rates, the collection's ~$157.

Rackham ignored their customer base and still do, raised metal figure prices to extreme levels, then abandoned the material, and look where it's gotten them. GW switched to plastics for similar reasons.

ZULUS!!! THOUSANDS OF THEM!

BRAND-NEW ZULU COLLECTION

Sculpted by Ronnie Shilton

Well, lots of them, anyway! It has been a number of years since we expanded our Darkest Africa range, and what better additions could we make than the mighty Zulus? So here at last comes the start of our new Zulu War range. We are all getting very excited about these stunning new models, so much so that the casting area has been arranged into a Zulu Kraal, and Bernard has started erecting barricades and humming Men of Harlech!!!

These are the first models by one of our new sculptors (Ronnie Shilton), starting with loads of married and unmarried warriors in fighting dress. They will be great for many Darkest Africa conflicts, as well as the wars of the Zulus from the rise of Shaka to the defeat of Cetshwayo.

More will be coming in the near future, just as fast as the casters can produce them. With Christmas coming, we thought this first collection of Zulu warriors would be an ideal gift, giving you the chance to start building your very own Zulu Impi.
